Beer Me
Beer dates outnumber wine dates 2:1 in Boston. That's not to say that Bostonians just love to pound beers in some dive. Microbreweries, in particular, are one of the trendier date spot for Boston singles.

Boston is Awesome For Picnics
Boston is serious about its parks, so when the weather gets nice, it makes sense that Boston daters would hit the public spaces in droves. Picnic dates are incredibly popular, and suggesting a picnic is more likely to get you a date.
